New York, New York

🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽NEW YORK CITY🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽

Today I want you to know the most famous place in the whole world. There are a great number of songs and films dedicated to NY. This is the city of the cities. The place where most of the films are done, the place where most of the celebrities live, the place where most of the skyscrapers are built... This is the city of the MOST of everything!

New York is one of the most important cities in the United States of North America. It is quite far from Spain as you have to cross the Atlantic Ocean to get there. You must take a plane if you ever want to visit it (the flight is 8 hours long from Madrid). Look at the map to se its situation:


NYC is wonderful. When you have a walk on the streets it is impossible not to look up to the massive skyscrapers. They never end! Although it is important to notice it is a quite expensive city. You should save some money before starting your trip. People in New York use the american dollar as official coin. I kept "20 dollars in my pocket ♫♫♫" as a remembrance:






In New York you can visit hundreds of things and also enjoy performances and matches of different sports. Apart from hockey, american football and baseball, the USA has the most important BASKETBALL league in the world, the NBA, and the KNICKS are the New York team. I had a great time going to Madison Square Garden to watch the NY Knicks playing basketball live!




Going to a concert is also a great activity. If you like music, New York has concerts of any type of music, including classical. The Carnegie Hall is considered one of the best music halls in the world. Also, New York has one of the most prestigious Music Schools in the world (The Juilliard School). I told you this city has "the most of the most" in almost everything 😉 .

Here you are some incredible pictures of the streets of Manhattan, the main area and the financial district:

 The Carnegie Hall





Skyscrapers!






 The Empire State Building is the most popular and visited Skyscraper of New York






The Chrysler building is very popular, too. It cannot be visited, but you can take photos from the avenues around 😊



You should not miss the Flatiron building. Very rare and unique. Can you see how narrow it is?? 😲


If you want to know more about Skyscrapers all over the world, I suggest you this page. Here you can find information about the location of the highest skyscraper in the world, the number of skyscrapers in every city, the year when they were built, etc. It is very interesting!


NYC has looooooooooong avenues:


7th Avenue




5th Avenue


Times Square is one of the main attractions in this city. Hollywood gets crazy about filming here. In New Year's Eve, TV cameras from all over the world broadcast live its famous countdown! (I bet you have seen these screens before in your own TV 😉)





Central Park is a massive rest area for inhabitants in Manhattan. This incredible park is full of nature in the middle of the stressful city. People come here to relax, practising sports, doing exercise, having picnics, or just sunbathe:




The views to the city from inside Central Park are just breathtaking!:






As well as in the parks of London from the previous post, you can find interesting and funny animals, too! 🐦🐾





Brooklyn is, like Manhattan, a big neighbourhood in New York City. It is the second in importance and number of inhabitants, and the walking across its wonderful Bridge is a MUST:





The sunset from Brooklyn is one of the most beautiful things I've ever done in my trip adventures. I am so happy that my colleague, the great teacher Emma, from San Francisco, recommended that to me!





New York has so many amazing things and places, that posting never ends!! You must visit this city to see with your own eyes what I'm talking about. I sincerely hope you do it one day!
